Qwen3-0.6B

"what" meaning "the thing that"

A neuron in layer 19 of Qwen3-0.6B. Its strongest snippets are very consistent: they mostly peak on the same token. It is featured, so it has steering outputs.

What this neuron does

This neuron fires on the word "what" when it means "the thing that", as in "into what was a traditional product". Its weak negative side is on words like "a" and "your". Turning it up made the text repeat hedging words like "often" and "probably".

Written by Claude from this neuron's activations and steering outputs. Confidence: medium. Think it is wrong? Flag it (opens a prefilled issue on GitHub).
